Any guidance on managing unwell children in acute settings who have learning difficulties or autism…
Dr. Cassie Coleman, a paediatrician in Oxford, is looking for anyone who is aware of any guidance on managing unwell children in acute settings who have learning difficulties or autism.
They are going to write guidance in Oxford but would be grateful if anyone has already done some work on this in their regions and is happy to share.
If you have any information, please can you email it to: cass81@doctors.org.uk
Thank you!

The project is led by Dr Sarah Cassidy at Nottingham University with support from Newcastle and Coventry Universities, the UK’s autism research charity Autistica, the NIHR’s James Lind Alliance and international autism research organisation INSAR.
